Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island, SC
Gosh, what a beautiful place! The Sonesta Resort at Hilton Head is THE PLACE for a spoiled pup! From the moment we arrived until a week later when we departed, we were treated like royalty - canines and humans alike. Everything about this place is perfection, and it’s the people who make it SOAR! Every single person we encountered went out of their way to make us feel special and took the time for the extra greetings and the extra touches and comforts to make our stay absolutely exceptional!! Every person we encountered, from the bellman who greeted us at the door to the front desk personnel, to the cleaning and maintenance staff and every person who served us food and drink - they all went the extra mile and it made such a difference! You guys ROCK - and I truly hope you hear that a lot. It is not often found these days, so it feels like such a treasure when one does find it.
The lovely courtyard
Pet-friendly at its best, the Sonesta knows how to delight their guests with beautiful, manicured grounds for walks, with comfy seating amongst the gardens to include fire pits for relaxing in the evening. There is a wooden walkway to the beach, which is dog-friendly for leashed dogs any time of the day between labor and memorial days. It was heaven strolling on the beach and exploring for hours and so nice to come back to paradise where our every whim is met with expertise and joy.
Here we are at one of the restautants
What a sweet life!
Our room was lovely - on the first floor with a back door to easily slip out for a quick potty break. We were also not far from the door leading to the central courtyard garden for a longer walk and easy access to the social and restaurant areas. The bed was so comfy - made up perfectly with those lovely fancy hotel linens that make you feel extra special when tucking in for the night.
S’mores anyone?
We took a break from walking the beach and garden walk at the resort to relax by one of the firepits. The gift shop sells s’more kits that are complete with sticks for roasting marshmallows. The whole experience made a hotel stay feel more like an adventurous camping getaway. And when S’mores time is over, you get to prance back down the beautifully manicured path to your fancy-schmancy hotel room with the super lucious bed.
Headed to our room after another incredible day at the Sonesta.
Mornings, we went to the on-site coffee shop and got a coffee and breakfast sandwich. Depending on the weather, we grabbed a comfy seat in the lobby or on the patio and made our daily plans while enjoying breakfast. Since we loved the beach so much, everyday was spent enjoying walking along the surf and one day we got so carried away that we walked nearly 3.5 miles to a shopping center, Coligny Plaza. All I have to say is thank God for Uber Pet which we grabbed for a ride back to the hotel!
Simon wondering where we are going next.
We were sad to leave our bougie hotel, but after 6 days of utter spoilage, we packed up the Fig and got ready to head to our next destination, Edisto Beach, with a couple of interesting stops along the way.
Can we just take a nap already?!!
